Death of woman found inside Florence, NJ house 'suspicious'

FLORENCE — The death of a woman whose body was found inside a residence Monday remains under investigation.

The body was found inside a house on Birch Hollow Road late Monday afternoon, according to Burlington County Prosecutor's Office spokesman Joel Bewley.

Her death is considered suspicious but no arrests have been made, according to Bewley. There is no threat to the public.

An autopsy was scheduled for Tuesday.

Bewley did not disclose the circumstances of her death.

Neighbors told CBS Philadelphia that no one had heard from the woman since Thursday and her daughters called police to do a wellness check.

What would happen to NJ if we were attacked by nuclear weapons?

We used NUKEMAP by Alex Wellerstein to see what would happen if a nuclear warhead hit New York, Philadelphia, Washington or New Jersey.

The models show what would happen in aerial detonation, meaning the bomb would be set off in the sky, causing considerable damage to structures and people below; or what would happen in a ground detonation, which would have the alarming result of nuclear fallout. The models do not take into account the number of casualties that would result from fallout.
